I’d like to share a health tip for those of you with children. Children may experience acid reflux, which occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. Frequent occurrences can lead to gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) later in life and in many cases, diet and lifestyle changes can help manage it. If you are bottle-feeding your infant, present the bottle with the nipple filled with fluid to prevent your baby from swallowing too much air while feeding. After feeding, hold your baby in an upright position for 20 to 30 minutes if possible. For some babies, it may also be helpful to add rice cereal to their feedings. Be sure to burp your baby several times during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding instead of waiting until the end. For older children, steer clear of foods that trigger acid reflux such as fried and fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, drinks with caffeine like sodas and tea, citrus fruit and juices, and tomato products. Help your children not overeat by giving them smaller portions during mealtimes. If needed, offer them small snacks between meals. Dinner should be served early, at least 3 hours before bedtime. If your child is overweight, consult their healthcare provider to set weight-loss goals.
If you’re wondering how funny the upcoming joke is, there’s only one way to find out! This one’s entitled “Cautionary Measures.”
A pair of honeymooners checked into the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC. The bride asked her husband:
“Do you think this room is bugged?”
“That was a long time ago, sweetheart.”
“But what if there’s a microphone somewhere?”
So, the groom dutifully searched under the tables... behind all the pictures. Then he flipped the rug over. Sure enough, there was a funny-looking gizmo on the floor. He took out the screws, and got rid of the hardware. The next morning, the newlyweds were in the lobby and the hotel receptionist asked if they had slept well.
“We did. Why do you ask?”
“Well, it’s rather unusual, but last night, in the room below yours, a chandelier fell from the ceiling!”
